SORBETH-230 TETRAOLEATE

Description

SORBETH-230 TETRAOLEATE is a versatile emollient and emulsifier commonly used in advanced skincare formulations. This synthetic ingredient is derived from sorbitol and oleic acid, combining the hydrating properties of a polyethylene glycol ether with the skin-conditioning benefits of fatty acid esters.

As a non-ionic surfactant, SORBETH-230 TETRAOLEATE effectively reduces surface tension between oil and water phases, promoting stable emulsions in various cosmetic products. Its high molecular weight contributes to a luxurious, silky texture without excessive greasiness. This ingredient exhibits excellent spreadability and enhances the overall sensory experience of skincare applications.

SORBETH-230 TETRAOLEATE functions as an effective solubilizer for oil-soluble actives, improving their dispersion in aqueous systems. It also aids in the even distribution of pigments and UV filters in sunscreen formulations. The ingredient's emollient properties help to maintain skin hydration by forming a protective barrier that reduces transepidermal water loss.

Due to its mild nature and compatibility with various skin types, SORBETH-230 TETRAOLEATE is suitable for use in a wide range of skincare products, including moisturizers, serums, and sunscreens.
